Austin Hays Still Not Playing
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (hip) remains out of action on Thursday against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. It will be the fourth straight game that Hays has missed due to a bruised left hip, but manager Brandon Hyde said that Hays could be back in the lineup any day now. With only three games remaining before next week's All-Star break, though, the O's might just decide to give the 28-year-old some extra rest heading into the second half of the season. Rookie Colton Cowser is making his second big-league start in left field on Thursday and is hitting seventh against Yankees right-hander Luis Severino. Hays only has eight home runs and two stolen bases, but he's been valuable in fantasy for his batting average of .312 (87-for-279) in 76 games.
